Knows How to Veto.


Dakota has long needed Gov, Church. 1t
has long needed q man for governor who had
backbone to use the veto wher it is needed.
The legislature, like most bodies of this kind,
has acquired the habit of Jumping off the
peoples money in a most reckless and pro-
miscuous manner and it has needed some one
to put the breaks down. Heretofore the gov
ernor has considered his duty done if only
such laws as in his estimation were uncon-
stitutional were vetoed. Gov. Church has
taken it as his duty to look deeper than the
surface OF the constitutionaliry of the law
to the question whether or not it was needed,
to study its effects and then act in thS light of
the facts received. This is the logical. CON-
mon sense way of looking at the veto power.
We believe that practically no president be-
fore Cleveland has ever looked upon it in this
light, or at least has never acted upon it The
creation Of this new idea has been one of the
best things connected with the Cleveland
administration. There is now hope that Gov.
Church will introduce the veto power into
Dakota and will thereby protect the people
not only against the corruption, but what has
exactly the same effect, the carelessness of
legislators.

feet-two stories high-of brick. An in-
terest has been developed here 10 the organiaz-
tion of the ''Three Falls Railway corporation,
as reported in the GLOBE of Wednesday last.
The general opinion seems TO be that the road
will not be feasible, as the proposed route
will run directly parallel with the Duluth
line. The business men here are in for any
thing, however, which has a company in
its name and generally accep: a scheme in
good faith until it shows it cannot be trusted.
The river is very high now and there has
been for some days apprehension of serious

are inferior to them in grandeur and beauty.

There is spot in Central Dakota which will
be settled by Mormons within few months,

no one has ever dared to charge us with be-
ing unthriftY We are workers, We have

are numerous in all of the territories, except
Dakota. We hold the balance of power in
Idaho and Washington, and have strong
hold in Montana. We viii also spread out into

tegration, but it is nothing of this sort.
Wherever we are we are allied to the church,

for US in Dakota, and we are going to en-
brace the opportunity.

Ex-Gov. Pierce urges the inadequate court
facilities of Dakota as a pressing reason for
division and admission. 1t looks TO us as
though Delegate Clifford could, If he wanted
to, easily secure the passage of q law by con-
gress increasing the number of territorial
Judges in Dakota and giving inferior counts
enlarged jurisdiction, so as to remove all
cause OF com olaint in this connection. Is it
possible that Mr. Clifford cannot obtain as
favorable legislation for Dakota as the repre-
sentatives OF other territories have secured
FOR themselves! Or is be so bound up in the
lmpracticable scheme Of cutting Dakota into
halves that he has no time to attend to the
real wants of his constituency? 1t has been
stated that the divisionisr faction, OF which
G11ord is shining light, is opposed TO the
admission of Dakota DIS u state and to any
other beneficial legislation that does not in
clude their pet scheme. Perhaps that is why
ex- Gov. Pierce is called upon to voice the
dissatisfaction of the people. These tactics
will not assist the divisionists, who must sue
ceed by fair means or fail ignominiously.
The people of Dakota will not be coerced in
that manner.

or brick, three stories and basement, 1O0x4O
feet in size, and will be erected on the twenty
seven and a half acres on the bluff north Of

apart as campus. Between $35 and $40

day evening 1t is stated that Phillip Bauer
and the Gasal Bros, have consolidated their
breweries, and will hereafter conduct the

the available track in the yards being flied,
there are two miles of solid cars on the James,

Crfticising Gov. Church,

1t was hoped that when Gov Church took
hold Of the reins OF government that Dakota
would have governor OF honest purposes
and firm convictions; but an executive officer
who has neither the 1rmness to veto bill or
the frmness to sign the same leaves himself
open TO criticism. If the Willard county di-
vision bill was right the governor should have
signed it; and if it was wrong, he should have
vetoed it. He should have had the manhood
to put himself upon record in the matter, and
not allow the bill TO become operative by
lapse of time. This is neither manly nor dig
nitted, but it is the resort of the politician
pure and simple. 1t makes very little differ
ence, however, as the people of Willard
county propose to test the consIitutionalitY
of the law
